I have found my next DIY project, spotted on Pinterest a few weeks ago! 

A couple years ago I actually swiped an all-metal stand from my mom, because I like their sort of rustic feel (despite only owning about three hats). But throw the top portion onto a vintage lamp and you have magic! 

Are You Checking the Two-Piece Section At the Thrift Store?

Wide collars and lace wings. Sort of. This cape is one reason you should always check the 2-piece section at #thrift stores! ... #usofvintage #vintage #vintagefashion #vintagestyle #vintagegirl #vintagedress #vintageblogger #truevintageootd #truevintage #retro #retrostyle #retrofashion #retrodoll #1960s #ootdsocialclub #ootd #wiw #wiwt #thrifted #thriftstyle #findthefind #fashionbloger #StyleBloggers #lace #floral #fashion #instafashion #boho #bohemian

Shirt: estate sale

Cape: thrifted

Jeans: Forever 21

I learned this about a year ago--always give the two-piece section at the thrift store a look-through! Yes, the rack with the post-9 to 5 feminine power suits and (mostly 90s) dress and short-sleeve jacket sets. It turns out some of those toppers are amazing. I've been able to find light blazers in fun prints, a lace and fringe shawl, and this dreamy 1960s cape. Paired with a blue floor-length dress at the store, it was probably worn to some girl's homecoming dance. But keeping with my resolution in 2015 to have all my vintage and layer it, too, I prefer to pair it with this waaaaaay retro floral blouse.
